Sick of hearing the same songs playing on the radio when you get off work? Get up for work at 5 PM and you like to rock out the moment you wake up? Other reason why you’re listening to the radio at 5 on a Friday? Well, let me offer you an alternative:
Join us for CHSR’s own Run For Your Life, which features host Matt Nightingale alongside a random list of guests, though most frequently Guest 1 who is known only for the label on his microphone. Run For Your Life is an underground-focused rock/punk/metal show which takes requests! Also, we’ve decided that all of you need lessons in survival that are entirely irrelevant. Sure, follow our advice. It won’t help you. But at least you’ll be smiling when you disappear off the face of the Earth.
Fridays at 5 PM, only on CHSR 97.9 FM.
Be sure to check out the feature song of the week from Beneath The Grid, based out of a golden helicopter somewhere in the Galapagos Islands. Or something random like that.
How Can I Get My Awesome Metal/Punk/Metal stuff on air? Or just randomly harass the hosts?
Toss a message Matt’s way at RunForYourLifeCHSR(at)gmail.com or find him on facebook. He’s usually pretty good about stuff like that. Usually.
Hey Folks! Come grab the last episode of 2016! I randomly tout nonsense as usual and have music playing in the background. Guest 1 couldn’t make it in so I had to do something, right? All the tracks I wanted to play for the holiday episode but just couldn’t fit them in make an appearance here.

I’ll keep this short and sweet before I start rambling about seeing colours and having fever dreams.

Also, purple monkey dishwasher.

Grab your face masks or hold your breath, it’s time for the extra sick addition of Run For Your Life! And I’m not saying that to be hip. I used to be with “it”, but then I forgot what “it” was, so now what I’m with isn’t “it”, and now what’s “it” is weird and scary to me.

We’re back to writing an excerpt that nobody will really read. The skivvy of things is that you need to pick up this episode to hear all the newest stuff happening with bands I love. Otherwise, you have to find out for yourself, and we both know you’re too lazy for that.

We start off fast, take you on a slow ride, get heavy and then end fast and heavy. I mean, that’s how every episode goes, right? Survive through the humidity with us and blast some great tunes while I tell you what to buy. Or don’t buy it and keep listening, I mean, whatever.

On today’s episode, we play a bunch of new music of stuff that isn’t out yet – but you can get it just like I did by going on Bandcamp and giving artists money. Or go out to their shows and give them money directly. They like it when you do that!
